Yes, you read that right! Join us for this inaugural event when the PAA WoW ride will blend the genders …Girls, Guys, Guests, etc. All riders are welcome!
Our inaugural Gender Blender ride will begin at Grant Rea Park in Montebello. After a short two mile ride north, we connect with the San Gabriel trail and then head South to Seal Beach. Coffee and snacks will be waiting for us at Eisenhower Park next to the Seal Beach Pier. After some snacks and socializing, we will head back to Grant Rea Park along the same route.
As always, for those wanting extra miles, there is always the Encanto Park start option to coordinate on your own.
